World Equestrian Brands rider Allison Springer stopped by to chat with the press after her always impressive dressage test aboard Arthur. Arthur is 17 this year, but you’d never know by watching him. This is their 11th CCI4* start — such an impressive feat for a long standing partnership.

A score of 39.6 is just a tick off of their score from last year, and this puts them into second place after the dressage phase of competition. She’s got a bit of ground to make up to catch Michael Jung in the next two phases — she told Frankie Thieriot after her ride that she’d have to “ride as fierce as a German tomorrow!”

Stay tuned for our full report on the day as well as the press conference, which we’ll be streaming live on our Facebook page in just a few minutes.
